Summary

The primary goal of this study is to assess use of a biocontainment device for planned airway procedures under general anesthesia. This will serve as a platform for using this device as a novel biocontainment and aerosol evacuation system as part of rapid sequence intubation protocols for COVID-19 patients. We hypothesize that airway procedures with the aerosol biocontainment device will be safe and effective with airway procedure times approaching times for airway procedures without the device.

Eligibility Criteria
